Taking a BLS Class

Basic Life Support Training
The American Red Cross offers BLS training for individuals and teams, and courses that are held entirely in person, or through our blended Simulation Learning experience, which combines online classwork with in-person skills sessions. This way, you can learn on your schedule - and in the way that suits you best. Regardless of which type of course you choose, you'll receive instruction from world-class professionals, as well as science-based information that includes the latest protocols, so you can deliver care to those in need and help improve patient outcomes.

Providing BLS Care
For BLS providers, when emergencies arise, it's your job to be able to provide care to whomever is in need. That's why Red Cross BLS classes cover best practices for delivering care to infants, children and adults. And because skills can be lost if they're not used regularly, we also offer refresher materials and a printout of some basic BLS steps that can help you stay sharp between calls.

Great information very informative!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Anonymous5 years agoI had a great experience and actually retained more of the information than previous years because of how the instructor taught it. He made learning fun and was 100% real with the information he was presenting. His passion for the training truly shows and this will forever be a memorable one! Thanks again!

Good Quality but Unnecessarily Long
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.VaEMT3 years agoThe course was good quality and the instructor was thorough, but the slides and videos during the in-person portion took longer than I believe that they should've. I may have just been impatient because I've taken the course before and I was only recertifying, so take my review with a grain of salt. Even with that accounted for, I still think that the information in the slides could have been condensed down into a more efficient presentation. Otherwise, it was a good course with a decent ... amount of hands-on work with adult/infant dummies. The instructor was very polite and I believe that she is competent in the subject matter.

Quick, informative, and fun!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Alex21823 years agoMy instructor Christopher was great. He figured out what everyone’s levels of knowledge were and helped everyone individually improve their skills. I am happy to take this class and stay up to date on the new techniques since my last course. He was also very helpful over email when I had a question. I did 1/2 online 1/2 in person. I liked doing the lecture part online because I think I paid better attention to everything. Overall I would definitely recommend this course! They also provide a AHA ... tester if you need both (it costs extra).

1st time CPR Course
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Hazeleyez3 weeks agoThis was my 1st CPR class. The instructor was very informative although he ran into technical difficulties while teaching the course. It wasn't his fault, the computers. Lol He remained calm and apologized for the disruption. The instructor was very compassionate in the class and what he was teaching us. Very knowledgeable and made sure the class stayed the course and demonstrated everything correctly.

Engageable.
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Cel A4 weeks agoExcellent. This course is practical, highly interactive, and engaging. I highly recommend it to those looking to improve their skills. Based on my experience, if you're taking the hybrid course, dedicate at least half a day to each level. Also, if you're renewing your CPR credential, I recommend upgrading to BLS/CPR. Customer service at +1 (833) 507-2460 will be very helpful in guiding you on the most convenient option.
